He lived in East Amityville, near where he was born in 1854. He attended the district school and later went to a select school.4 In 1870 he lived with his parents on the family farm and was engaged in farming. He started working at 17 as a woodworker. In 1880 Stephen and his mother lived together, probably on the family farm in Copiague. When his elder brother [Thomas Harvey] opened a blacksmith shop, he did the woodwork. Later he was able to build a shop next to his brother's. He was a wheelwright. Stephen was a Republican and was elected several times as a delegate to party conventions. He supported Tilden in 1876, but supported Gen. Garfield in 1880. He was a charter member of the New Point Lodge No.677,1.O.O.F. and served as Treasurer of the local organization from its beginning until July 1895.
